Why Men Get Bald.

IL have heard nearly as many ex-
plantations of badness as l have seen
bald-headed men, and that's good
many" said downtown barber the
other day, "but l never heard one
that gave the true cause. Some people
say it's dissipation, cutting the hair too
short, letting it grow too long, smok-
ing too strong cigars, smoking a pipe,
smoking cigarettes, drinking strong
coffee, drinking bad whisky, wearing
high hats, wearing low hats, wearing q
hat in the house, not wearing n hat
out of doors, worrying, late hours,
and early pety.
Now, did you ever notice what
classes Of men are most commonly
bald? That throws deal of light on
the cause of badness. have found
that us rule retail statesmen, book
keepers. and some office clerks are
more often bald than any other class
Of men. WhyP Because they habtu-
ally stand or sit nearly every even
ing under Il gaslight.
"Bookkeepers always have n strong
light over their heads. SO do clerks
who have TO work at night. Retail
salesmen sell goods under powerful
burners that are most of the time d-
rcctly over their heads. The artificial
heat dries out the hair, makes it brittle
and unhealthy, and finally kills it at
the root That's how the people get
bald If you will pass your hand
through your hair after you have been
standing under gas-light for few
moments, YOU will see at once how it
is. Although you may not have no
ticed the heat, your hair, if you've
got any, will be fairly hot to the roots.
You'll be surprised to notice, too, at
what a distance from the light the heat
will take effect. Now there's nothing
in the world that is so bad for the hair
as getting it dry. 1t should be moist
all the time, and with the oil that is
naturally secretcd by the little cells at
the roots. When this oil is continue
ally and rapidly evaporated, as it is
when the head is kept heated by the
gaslight, the cell dries up and the hair
falls out.
There won't be nearly so much
badness in the world after two or
three generations have used the elec-
trio light exclusively. People who sit
under gaslight should wear some kind
of non-conducting head gear to pro-
tect themselves. "-NcO IOrt Com.

Joseph Porter.


Once more we are called upon to chronicle
the death of another old settler, a telegram
to J. L. Porter announcing the death Of his
father, who died in Dorchester, Neb, on
Wednesday afternoon.
Joseph Porter was born in Washington
county, Pa, March 8, 1898, living to the
dawn of his ninlieIh year. and passing his
life in times of the most eventful period OF
history that America has passed through.
Well did he remember his mother prepar-
ing bandages for the soldiers of 1912. Often
he remark ed, near the close Of his life, that
he had lived in the periId of American s
greatest advancement in science and states.

lie was a man of sterling integrity, kind
husband and father, and a firm believer in a
just God.
lie was a personal friend Of Alexander
Campbell, the founder of the Campbellite
church, and visited him in his Kentucky
home. He was also a personal friend of
Henry Clay, who was mis- ideal of states.

In his boyhood he came west to Ohio,
where he settled He there married Eliza

woman who bore him seven children, OF

in their loads from distance of from one to
thirty miles, that he decided to once more

He bought farm from Deacon Nattinger,
the leading merchant of Ottawa, which was
then surrounded by thousands of acres of
wild prairie land. lie often said he would
never be short of free pasturage for Lis
herds Of cattle At that day, herds of deer
were very common and the howl of the wolf
was not unusual; but the wild prsiries were

To each of his children who were inclined
to follow farmers life, he gave farm,
thus himself helping to fill up this vast
prairie, which he supposed would take gen,
erations to populate.
Growing aged he sold his old home farm
and moved into South Ottawa, to spend the
rest of his days quietly.
In 1876 his wife died and his daughter,
Mrs. Thompson, came to take care of him
but in 1886, as she wished to 60 west to Neb.

country grow up around him, and on last
